The Girls



I have the two best sisters in the world! My oldest sister Lynne is an amazing cook, organizer, and epitomizes the phrase "big sister". She is so thoughtful and caring. She never lets an occasion go by without celebrating, and still keeps me in line. I love the way she cares for our Mom, spending many fun hours shopping, going to lunch, and transporting her to her various appointments. My slightly younger older sister Leslie is the ultimate fun sister. Adventurous and creative, Leslie can always be counted on to make each event a special one! She lives halfway across the country, but regularly makes the trek to California for visits, and goes the extra mile to support her far-flung nieces and nephews.

I wanted to do a layout using these fun photos I have of the two girls when they were little, in the 1940s. (Now don't kill me, girls, I just HAD to do it!) I love their sweet little girl faces, and the devotion they obviously have for each other. Mom and Dad always called them "The Girls", and although a brother, and then a little sister joined the family later, Lynne and Leslie will always be "the Girls" to me.

This is such a lovely page, Stef! They certainly look like wonderful people. What a trio of blondies (sp?) you are!

I bet they love this page Steph - we are 4 girls - I'm the eldest and my second sister and I always called the 2 youngest "the little ones", right up until they were teenagers. I can feel a page coming on! Thanks for the inspiration.

Not to be too forward with your sisters but those photos could not be from the 40's - they look too young! Great page as always Stef.
